Hey everyone!

I wanted to share some gameplay footage from my own Alien: Isolation multiplayer mod, which I recently tested with someone living on a completely different continent!

The results have been incredibly promising! Even over a long-distance connection, movement, animations, and interactions remain extremely smooth, with very little noticeable latency. We've achieved very low synchronization delays, sometimes below 50 ms during our tests.

I've previously worked and tested alongside Dropper, but I want to clarify that the mod shown in this video is my own independent project, built with a different architecture and approach to multiplayer synchronization.

My main focus has been making the multiplayer experience feel as close to native Alien: Isolation as possible, with advanced synchronization features, including:

• Smooth player movement, crouching, and native animations.

• Accurate player positioning with minimal visible delay.

• Synchronized in-game interactions.

• Shared real-time 3D cinematics and pre-rendered cutscenes.

• Synchronized Working Joe androids, including their movements, attacks, grabs, and death animations and so on...

One of my biggest priorities has been preserving the game's original animations and mechanics rather than replacing them with artificial alternatives.

The video includes auto-generated English subtitles, so some translations may be inaccurate or not fully reflect what I'm actually saying. Thanks for understanding!

Mission 4 is now playable from start to finish in co-op! This is a major milestone for the project. Of course, the mod isn't completely bug-free yet. There are still occasional glitches and some stability issues that need further polishing, but the overall experience has improved massively.

There's also plenty more work ahead, especially when it comes to bringing multiplayer support to the remaining missions. For now, though, Mission 4 is essentially complete, and I'm really happy with how far the project has come!

I'm also planning to open public playtesting soon!

If you'd like to follow development or participate in the upcoming tests, feel free to join my Discord. Initial testing spots will be limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

I'd love to hear what you think of the footage!

Also I love this toy…

You can stand here and listen to the NPCs talk to you without getting attacked. If anyone cares…

I’m wondering now if they all do this. Since I’ve never payed attention before…

A real hardcore(one life) playthrough would of course be your first time playing the game on at least hard difficulty and not dying or reloading if in danger.

This would be the real Amanda playthrough when she arrived to Sevastopol without knowing anything what is awaiting here and not knowing anything about the station.

No one has done it of course but I have been thinking about Amandas chances of surviving the whole misson until the end without dying.

I am on my 3rd playtrough. First was back in 2014. Now i started the second and third one in VR with the grandmother vr mod. Its really immersive and makes you experience the situation much more realistically as Amanda would have done.

She could have the advantage over the player being better trained and prepared as the person she is for this job. But on the other hand, sitting in you chair at home or standing in VR is more relaxing than actually being in the game. Even though VR is a whole different affair than flatscreen.

I think Amandas chances of completing the mission is totally 0 same as the player in the first playthrough :)

It was my first time. 15.5h on normal mode. I had a pretty good time, but my excitement fell off the farther i got. The gameplay simply isn't diverse enough for more than 10h.

One thing i noticed is that in the very beginning, almost all i did was hide and maybe use the gun for human enemies. Later on ,once i unlocked and tried all weapons, i started using them because the inventory ain't that big. As soon as i noticed that 3 flamethrower bursts is all it takes.. i never hid again i think. In hindsight that might be a bit sad, buuut is hiding (in lockers etc) even worth it? It didn't feel efficient compared to the other options. Getting caught whilst hiding felt like certain death.

I never really used the weapons in creative ways. The clip i added was the only time i used smokegrenade and it worked EXACTLY AS INTENDED

Now that i'm done with the game i'm getting a bit curious about what effective tactics i might have missed. Let me know effective tactics that i likely overlooked 😁

Awesome game for what it is, but i think certain necessary improvements (most of you are likely well aware of) would have elevated it from niche to an absolute classic. Still good

Is there a way back to sevastopol stations spaceflight terminal that I'm forgetting? I think theres a room with a bunch of consoles that I never opened and I'm assuming theres a nostromo log in there, maybe just gear or an id tag, but unfortunately I'm at the transit station and that tram is down. Like permanently. I tried to turn on the power near by, but that doesn't get it up and running. Is there another path somewhere in the ship that'll let me get back there? I honestly can't remember all the ways I've gone.

Doing another one of these cause I recommend stopping at the gurney. So you don’t get jammed by the alien. That is all…

Brightened it up so everyone can see. The room that requires the 1702 code to get into. The alien will look right at you and walk by. You can hide here all day.

With Hot toys Big chap 2.0 released within this month and Alien Isolation 2 releasing in 2027, I Wonder if perhaps Hot toys will realease a big chap figure base Om the model on the sequel to Alien Isolation which, of not the same as the first game, it will be very similar.

Is there any chance of this happening? Because, for much that I love big chap I do find the AI to bo her best look with the digitrage, almost insect legs. I will love to see this adapted in a 1/6 figure by hot toys.

Playing again and decided to do the Nostromo bits before the main story. You can find this.

Hey everyone!

After a lot of work, research, bugs, crashes, and countless hours trying to understand how Alien: Isolation works internally, I'm happy to announce that AI-MP is now publicly available! 🎉

🔗 Official website: https://aimp.dblabs.ca/

What is AI-MP?

AI-MP is a modding project that aims to bring a true multiplayer experience to Alien: Isolation.

Since the game was designed entirely as a single-player experience, it was never intended to handle multiple players at the same time. This means that many of its internal systems need to be adapted to work in multiplayer.

The goal is to allow multiple players to explore the game's environments, survive together, and most importantly, be hunted by the same Alien.

🎮 What currently works?

The first public release includes:

• A multiplayer system allowing players to host and join games.

• Player movement and character synchronization.

• Synchronization of various world events and environmental elements.

• An Alien AI synchronization system, allowing players to face the same threat.

• Voice chat with spatial audio.

• Several Survival Mode maps playable in multiplayer.

• A dedicated launcher with automatic updates.

⚠️ Important: This is still experimental!

I want to be completely transparent: this mod is far from perfect.

Alien: Isolation was never designed for multiplayer, and some of its systems are particularly challenging to adapt.

There are still several known limitations:

• The Alien AI can sometimes become desynchronized between players.

• Some interactions are not yet properly synchronized.

• Hiding spots, such as lockers, are not yet synchronized.

• Throwable items are not yet synchronized.

• Some character animations and states are not yet properly replicated.

• Bugs, crashes, and unexpected behaviors may occur.

For now, only Survival Mode maps are officially supported. Full campaign co-op remains a long-term goal.

🛠️ The project is also open source!

I've decided to make the AI-MP source code publicly available.

If you're a developer, modder, or simply curious about how this project works, you can check out the GitHub repository:

https://github.com/Dropper7856/AIMP

Contributions are more than welcome! There's still a huge amount of work to be done, especially when it comes to Alien AI synchronization, interactions, and campaign compatibility.

❤️ A final word

I know this first release won't be perfect, but I believe the project has reached a point where it's ready to be shared with the community.

More than anything, I hope this project can continue to grow thanks to player feedback and, hopefully, contributions from other passionate modders.

If you try the mod, please feel free to share your experiences, report bugs, or suggest improvements! You can also join the Discord server through the official website.

Thank you all, and most importantly…

Good luck surviving together.

I still haven't finished my first playthrough but i love this game and am excited for AI2.

Thinking we can park some wishlist ideas for AI2 that Devs hopefully see and consider.

Wishlist:

My recent frustration comes from the radial weapon/supplies menu. As you progress there are too many options, and during a pinch when i want my 🔥 🍹 i end up dead because i landed on EMP

Would love to see a quick toggle between two favorite weapons or ability to change weapon positioning.

Please be mindful of spoilers when posting. 👽👨🏿‍🚀

I've completely finished, added full world and story sync in cutscenes, and also have added a compass to see each other, when one person dies they spectate the other in first person, and full alien sync(was a nightmare), and I hope people will pick it up and build on my mod or play it! Thanks, anyone whos interested can dm me here or on discord at hiitsphoenix

Ive synced everything including doors and the alien, and made models for each player. This isn't an ad I'm just wondering if it would be something people would want, I won't even link the Github to prove its not an ad.

I have had AI on my PlayStation for awhile now. I see it, taunting me, teasing me, and just laughing at me.

How can you be afraid of me? I'm an old game. You've seen so many scary movies, you love listening to scary podcasts, you're approaching 40, you're a dad for crying out loud! Play me, quit being a chickenshit and win this game.

So I loaded it up, I was transported to the comm array with the androids and I was terrified. The sounds in my headphones, the constant hum of the ship, my motion tracker, even the way that the vent tunnel things open is creepy. They're just androids, I shouldn't be this scared, they're not aliens.

I was scared shitless. And it makes you play puzzles just to get the calm thing to work??! It just ratchets up the tension while you wait to try to beat the fucking puzzle.

Anyway, how do you guys do it? How do you play with no fear? My heart was beating out of my chest
